:-) So the good news is that the essential part of the patch that I'm
working on is to bring the Gridded and Untiled layers back together.

Instead of declaring your layer as OpenLayers.WMS.Untiled, you will
simply declare it OpenLayers.WMS and pass it an option { singleTile:
true }

Thus, both of those will be supported.
